Fu Li looked back at the shop owner, saw him nodding, and realized that the price was indeed not a scam, so he nodded: "Please take me to see that house, if what you said is true, I will immediately Sign a contract with you."

Only then did Qian Da laugh: "Ma'am, you are refreshing!"

After saying that, he went back to the room to take the deed, closed the door, and took Fu Li to the house he mentioned.

Seeing that the two had agreed, the shop owner wanted to leave.

Fu Li hurriedly stopped the man: "Mr., I don't know if this house is suitable or not. Please come with me again, sir."

She is alone now, but she dare not go out alone with a mature man. If something unexpected happens, it will be called every day and the earth will not work.

The store owner was a little hesitant: "The old lady is the only one left in that stall now, I'm afraid she won't be able to handle it."

Fu Li was a little disappointed, but there was nothing he could do about it. The old man couldn't let the old man abandon his wife for a stranger he met by chance, right?

"Pfft," Qian Lang laughed, "Listen to what you said, are you treating me like a scourge? Do I look so scary? If you're really worried, it's fine. It just so happens that my younger brother is at home. He went to guard Zhou Gong's stall, is that okay?"

Fu Li looked at the shop owner.

The boss smiled and nodded: "If that's the case, I can rest assured."

Qian Lang snorted and squeezed out from between the two of them in a daze, without saying a word, he just walked forward carelessly.

Fu Li was a little surprised, but he heard the shop owner yelling at the door: "Qian Er, come out quickly, and help me guard the stall for a while!"

After a while, a tall and burly man came out from the door: "Understood, let's go."

After finishing speaking, he ran away in a hurry.

The shop owner smiled at Fu Li: "Don't worry, the old man knows the small courtyard that Qian Da said, and I will take it with me, so I won't get lost."

Fu Li was stunned for a moment, and felt that what he saw just now was quite interesting, and couldn't help laughing: "Please also ask the old gentleman to lead the way.

When the two of them arrived at the small courtyard, Qian Da was already waiting at the door. Seeing them taking so long to arrive, he couldn't help but blush: "I see that this guest is in a hurry to decide where to stay tonight. Why are you still messing around with Duke Zhou? Duke Zhou has a family of his own, so he is not in a hurry, but if Madam follows him, it is uncertain whether she will end up on the streets tonight."

Fu Li couldn't help laughing: "Isn't it because you are thinking that Duke Zhou is in charge, you will not cheat me? If you don't mean to

Besides, this yard should be my bed tonight. "

Qian Dazheng was about to speak, when he met the old gentleman's gaze, the corner of his mouth twitched: "That's all, for Duke Zhou's sake, I don't care about you."

With that said, he pushed open the gate of the courtyard, "Come in and have a look."

Fu Li let Zhou Gong go first, and then stepped into the gate of the courtyard.

This courtyard is indeed quite small, not to mention compared with the Lin family, even compared with the Fanghua Garden where the original owner lived in the Lin family, it is pitifully small.But if only Fu Li lives alone, there is still room to spare.

She glanced at the slightly old wood, and tapped with her hands. The sound was dull, and it was not eaten by insects.

Go through the courtyard from the middle path to the only room.Pushing open the door, the wind blew, and the dust in the room flew up and fell on Fu Li's face.

She coughed a few times before looking seriously at the furnishings in the house.

The furniture in the house is well-equipped, although it is a bit old, but Fu Li doesn't mind.After checking the kitchen and the utility room, Fu Li turned to look at Qian Da after making sure there was nothing he was dissatisfied with, "This is the yard, let's sign the contract."

Qian Da chuckled, raised his hand and handed the deed to Fu Li: "Just wait for Madam to sign it."

After a pause, he asked again, "Madam should be literate, right?"

Fu Li rolled his eyes and was about to scold someone, but when he lowered his head, he saw a lot of traditional Chinese characters: "... I don't seem to recognize it."

Qian Daqi: "If you don't know it, you don't know it. Why do you add 'like'?"

Fu Li smiled awkwardly: "Some of them know each other, some of them don't."

"So that's how it is." Qian Da nodded, "Then let me read you the contents of the deed, so that Duke Zhou won't say that I deceived you."

After finishing speaking, he read the content of the deed to Fu Li word for word.

"No problem." Fu Li breathed a sigh of relief, "Bring me to sign it. Don't worry, I can still read and write my name."

After signing, Qian Dashi took the deed, took the deposit, and left with Duke Zhou.

Before Duke Zhou left, Fu Li secretly slipped a piece of silver to him, worrying that he would refuse and not let him find out——

She abandoned her business and kindly accompanied her to look at the house, so she couldn't make the trip in vain.

Fu Li simply tidied up the house, then went out to the government office to cancel his status as a concubine and regained his freedom.Then I went to buy rice noodles and many daily necessities, and when I got home, the sky had already darkened.

Time to prepare dinner.

Fu Li is tired

, Lying on the bed and not wanting to move at all.

After squinting for a while, she struggled to get up from the bed and came to the kitchen.

"My God, I forgot to buy firewood!"

Fu Li was so preoccupied with buying food and bedding, he forgot that he was in the city, and even had to find someone to buy firewood.

If there wasn't a well in the yard, I'm afraid even the water would have to be bought by someone.

Fu Li really didn't want to bother others before saying hello.She even thought, or just go hungry tonight, and wait until tomorrow to talk about other things.

but……

"Grumbling..."

She rubbed her hungry and panicked stomach, and the sadness in her heart flowed like a river.

For now, I can only go to the neighbors to spend money to buy some firewood, and cook some porridge at will to get through tonight.

Fu Li sighed and knocked on the neighbor's door.

It was a woman holding a child who came to open the door. When she saw Fu Li, she took a step back vigilantly: "Who are you, why haven't I seen you?"

"I just moved in next door today. You can call me Fu Li." Fu Li smiled embarrassedly, "I was confused when I went shopping today, and I forgot to buy some firewood. So, I want to ask my sister-in-law , can you give me some, I can spend money to buy it."

The woman remembered that there were indeed people walking next door during the day, so she felt relieved: "You wait at the door first, and I will ask the head of the house to bring the firewood to your house."

"The price..."

"No, you bought new firewood tomorrow, just return the amount to my house."

Fu Li nodded naturally: "I'm sorry to trouble you."

The woman smiled and shook the child in her arms: "It's okay, neighbors help each other, it should be."

I thought today's suffering was over, but when I came to the stove, Fu Li discovered another fact that broke her down——

Accustomed to all kinds of convenient modern tools, she couldn't light a fire with firewood at all.

And the stove was not the kind she was familiar with.

Fu Li: Desperate Salted Fish.jpg

Fu Li, who had been tossing and tossing for a long time, finally ate white porridge.

At this time, she was exhausted, and her stomach, which was extremely hungry, was silent. It seemed that she was too hungry, and she had lost the ability to perceive hunger. She wished she could lie down on the bed and sleep to death.

However, when the soft porridge is eaten into the mouth, the mouth melts, and the sweet taste immediately awakens all of Fu Li's perceptions: "Sure enough, this is life!"
